2006 Kenneth Volk Vineyards Garey Vineyard Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir
Barrel sample. This

2006 Kenneth Volk Garey Vineyard Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir
$48.
This vineyard was planted in the late 1990s to be the premier vineyard of the
Robert Mondavi Corporation’s Santa Maria Valley holdings. It is named for
the tiny township of Garey on Foxen Canyon Road adjacent to the vineyard.
Sourced from a vineyard block planted to clone 777.
·
This wine has been big
and intense in the past, but this vintage is toned down. Discreet spicy cherry
nose with a serenade of juicy and ever-expanding red and blue fruit flavors.
This one has the full arsenal. Check for future release date.

2005 Bianchi Signature Selection Garey Vineyard Santa Maria Valley Pinot Noir
14.6% alc., $25.
·
This wine wows you from start to finish. Great
scent of fresh, ripe strawberries, raspberries and brown spice. Lovely deep
flavors of strawberry jam, Damsel plums, vanilla, root beer, toast and spice.
Nice full mouth feel without flabbiness. Balance is spot on. A generous and
fruity Pinot that is everything one could hope for. Share this one with your
lover.
